Event overview
Ferry Meadows is one of the largest country parks in the region.
Situated less than three miles from Peterborough City Centre at the heart of Nene Park, its varied landscapes make it a favourite destination for thousands of visitors throughout the year.
There is a 6-hour event starting at 9am or a 4-hour event starting at 11am. Run as far as you can during the time, plus a little bit more if you're lucky. As long as you leave Base Camp by 5:59:59 you get to run another lap! Rest between laps then head out for more.
The 5.3K lap through the forest consists of gravel footpaths and some grassy areas - so a true multi-terrain course.
You may be completing your first official 5K, 10K, Half Marathon, Full Marathon or even Ultra Marathon, or it may be your 100th or 1000th event!
With next to no navigation, no special kit requirements, an aid station every lap and straightforward logistics - this is ideal for going further than ever before.
There will be a bespoke medal for the event, which you will receive at the end of the race. Or if you choose the 'green' lucky dip option, you will choose from a selection of previous medals.

Friendly and well organised. For someone who’s a complete novice this was a great, friendly well organised run that was 100% inclusive for beginners like me. Looking forward to doing another event soon. Ricky Heath
